I had a good experience with this company for the most part. They were priced reasonably in comparison to other vendors I researched. There were several times where the communication was a bit vague and the payment experience was not very clear. The online portal used for payment was not working when I was trying to place the deposit. When I finally was able to get the portal to work, it charged me the full amount, which was unexpected. Upon reaching out immediately to the wedding coordinator at Eivan's, I was ghosted. I reached out to the accounting department and they responded with a generic response telling me they cannot guarantee the refund and paying it over time would cost more. I opted to just leave it alone for my own sanity. I reviewed the day of the wedding with my photographer only and our expectations. I received no contact from the videographer. They were plenty friendly the day of the wedding and handled a lot of the very demanding family members well. Both showed up dressed very casually, which was not my favorite, especially since they both made it into portions of my video. I also learned later that despite buying them 150 plated meals they were allowed to asked for payment for tolls and parking. I realize now it was in the fine print, so please make sure you very carefully read contracts prior to signing them. I am not upset by the experience, but I understand why this company was cheaper than others. If others asked for a recommendation, I would not turn them away from Eivan's, but if you are on a budget and have your expectations set accordingly, they will get the job done.

  • Cinematic style
  • Starts at $2,800

Hi! Courtney here (that's me on the left!). Shutter and Sound is the brainchild of renowned wedding videographer Ryan Geldermann. Ryan began his wedding videography career in 2010 in Los Angeles and quickly became recognized as one of the top videographers in the U.S.. After relocating to DC and still receiving countless inquiries from all corners of the country, Ryan decided to recruit and train a few talented friends so he could continue offering the quality wedding videography he’s known for in SoCal and eventually over 10 cities. Shutter and Sound is a very small group of filmmakers dedicated to turning your big day into a work of art.

Awarded Best of Zola
We are thrilled with the stunning work of Shutter and Sound! Their highly talented videographers perfectly captured all the love and memories of our wedding day, and helped preserve them in film. Reliving the day by watching our highlight video brought us and our family to tears of joy. Every beautiful moment was captured with crystal-clear visuals from getting ready with our wedding attendants to our sparkler send off at the end of the night. The drone footage and details shots also perfectly blended with the rest of the film and helped set the stage for our perfect day. We can’t thank Shutter and Sound enough for the creativity and care they put into making our wedding video. I highly recommend!

Absolutely thrilled with the exceptional services provided by Desmond and Vera for our wedding videography! From start to finish, their professionalism and attention to detail were evident. Not only did they offer extremely reasonable pricing, but their familiarity with our venues, particularly the church, was a huge plus.

Awarded Best of Zola
Finding the right videographer was incredibly important to us because we wanted more than just photos. We wanted to capture the voices, the laughter, the tears, the movement—every emotion that made our day unforgettable. At first, we struggled to find a connection with the work we saw, but after months of searching online, we came across Alex V Films, and his work left a lasting impression on us. It was exactly what we had been searching for. From the moment we met Alex, his warm personality and passion for his craft put us completely at ease. He took the time to understand our vision, showing incredible attention to detail and truly listening to what we wanted. His talent for capturing not only the big moments but also those small, candid interactions brought everything to life in a way we could only dream of. Alex was able to beautifully weave our vows into the movement and storytelling of our film, bringing each word to life. In my vows, I shared a memory about my papa. As he approached his final days, I asked him, “Papa, what can you tell me about love?” He gently touched his chest and said, “You feel it in your heart.” Alex captured this moment with such care; as I spoke the words, “my papa touched his chest,” the video transitioned to my wife, sliding her hand gently down my chest, mirroring my papa’s gesture. It was as if he had breathed life into our vows, capturing not just the words, but the emotion and legacy behind them. Alex made the experience of working with him enjoyable. Throughout the process, his communication was top-notch, and professionalism shone through every step of the way. He was attentive of our needs and made the process easy. Alex didn’t just record our day—he captured its essence. Every look, every laugh, every precious detail we wanted to hold onto is now a part of a beautiful memory we’ll cherish for a lifetime. These are moments that photos alone could never fully capture; they’re filled with emotions that will be felt and connected to for years to come. At the beginning of this process, Alex was a stranger. As we got to know him we felt as though he became a friend. We’re forever grateful to have found Alex, who created more than just a video—he created a keepsake of our love and joy that we will cherish for a lifetime.

We're a Wedding Photo & Video Studio based in Los Angeles, California. Our goal is to have your wedding photos and video serve as a testimony for the generations to come that true love exists and that the happiest moments are those that are shared in the presence of your loved ones.

Awarded Best of Zola
My husband and I knew it would be an important task hiring a photo/videographer for our wedding. There’s SO many options and styles out there that it’s also daunting to commit to one. We found Cruzio Studios on The Knot and we are incredibly grateful we did. We were drawn to their journalistic style of capturing love between partners: intimate, natural (doesn’t look too posed), synergizes with the location, delicate, and sweet. After having phone calls with other vendors, we were most excited to work with Cruzio. Not only do they have an amazing portfolio (easily accessible on their beautiful website), but they have great packages to offer their clients. Our package came with an engagement shoot and the results were mind-blowing. I know that sounds hyperbolic, but my partner & I don’t show a lot of PDA and the Cruzio team captured our love so sweetly. When we got the photos and video short, we kept on saying, “That’s us!!” Given their portfolio, we trusted their expertise and artistic eye. Not only were they kind while providing clear directions and great ideas, but they’ll do their best to get the optimal shot. They’re immensely generous with their talents considering all the thought and detail they put into their product. Also, they’re really easy to talk to. We felt like we were just hanging out with friends who are very talented photo/videographers! Cruzio Studios definitely did not disappoint on our wedding day. I’m definitely a planner, so I had a list of group photos we wanted for our wedding day. The Cruzio team had that list with them and ensured we got the shots. They are so professional and stuck to our wedding day timeline with such grace. And although our venue spaces weren’t the biggest, they adapted. To that, my husband & I never felt like they were ever in the way or super noticeable. And, of course, their final products are amazing. They captured the excitement leading up our first look & ceremony and joyous celebration during the reception. Also, the romantics are simply so pretty and caught our love perfectly. It’s so lovely to look back at our special day through their talents and lenses. We consider ourselves fortunate to have had them in our wedding dream team. If you’d like a wedding photo/videographer who are fun & easy to work with, incredibly talented, and experts in their crafts, look no further. Thank you, Cruzio Studios, for everything!!

I've been filming and photographing weddings since 2009. I'm also a musician and I help craft most of the music in the wedding films I create. I love working with couples that have unique personalities and styles. My work resonates the most with who it's made for, and I always keep that audience in mind.

I can't express how grateful we are for our incredible wedding videographer, Steven! He was not only incredibly talented but also the sweetest person to work with. His professionalism and attention to detail were evident in every shot he took.  He beautifully captured all the special moments of our day, and finding someone who could provide high-quality video, drone footage, and 8mm film was a dream come true. When I finally stumbled upon this gem from Virginia, I knew I had found my guy! And I felt compelled to write this review even before receiving our final video because of how much we enjoyed working with Steven and his colleague! I was so comfortable with them and felt like their friend by the end of it all. If the teaser video is any indication (which we received the following day OMG!), the final video will far exceed all our expectations! We will cherish these memories forever, thanks to their amazing work! EASILY, HAPPILY, AND HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!! 12/10! 5 STARS ALL AROUND! If you would like a videographer who has a great product, is easy to work with, is a good human, and makes your wedding day better by being awesome, do yourself a favor and hire Steven! You will not regret it…we sure as heck don’t! Steven, thank you so much! What a positive experience you gave us! You’re the best and we are so grateful! We’re so excited for our final edit! -Laura

Hi there! I'm Gui Bittencourt, a wedding videographer based in Southern California since 2018. My passion for photography started when I was a kid, playing around with my grandma's old film camera. That early love for capturing moments grew into a career, taking me from Brazil to the vibrant wedding scene here in SoCal. I specialize in multicultural weddings, celebrating love stories from all over the world. I believe every couple’s story is unique, and my goal is to capture your special day in a way that feels real and timeless.

We capture your day as it happens naturally, without the gimmicks and cheeseball editing. It should go without saying, but we film weddings for couples of any religion, orientation, color or creed.

Listen, I'm the first to admit I didn't think we needed a wedding video. We were on a budget and I was trying to keep things minimal. My friend hired Joel and told me about her experience and convinced me a videographer was essential, but only if I worked with Joel, and let me tell you what, I am SO thrilled we hired him. Joel was thoughtful and listened to my concerns prior to the wedding and made me feel at ease, the day of he was EARLY (who's early anymore?), he captured every special moment and worked really well with my photographer (who he'd never worked with before!) - by the end of the night you would have thought they were old friends in this wedding business that provided us with the most beautiful creations post-wedding. When Joel sent the link for us to work, my husband and I watched it 10 times in the first hour, we are SO thankful to have hired him and highly recommend him to anyone else looking (or not looking) for that extra special touch capturing your most special day.

Time capsule films for memory collectors. Our ability to capture and preserve some of our most pivotal life moments really is a gift. Every film is intended to act as a time capsule for my couples to re-live in 25 years.

KC Films was a dream to work with. I am a photographer and had the pleasure of working with her recently. She was so easy to get along with, very professional, and very intentional in everything she did. We communicated throughout the entire day that we worked together, and helped each other get the best coverage for our bride and groom! I would definitely work with her again! And I’ve recommended her to many family and friends that needed a videographer! Her videos capture the beauty and emotion of the entire wedding day!

My commissions are bespoke art house shorts - almost reminiscent of a home video. At the forefront of it all, it is directed by the charm and character that makes my couple’s wedding day dynamic and unique. My workflow is minimal. I prefer not to influence a wedding day by manufacturing moments and over-directing people. It is a discreet and fiercely grounded approach which leads to what I believe is a creatively genuine interpretation of the day and a testament to my couple. All of my commissions will include: a 1-2 minute film trailer a 7-10 minute feature film and uncut versions of the ceremony and toasts.

We recently had our intimate wedding at San Francisco City Hall and realized at the last minute that we absolutely needed a videographer to capture the day. That’s when we found Bryan, and he was a lifesaver! Bryan responded to our inquiry right away and was so helpful in explaining all the services he offered. His rates were super reasonable, which was a huge relief. On our wedding day, Bryan was not only on time and professional, but he also felt like part of the family. He managed to capture every beautiful moment without ever being intrusive. His creativity and attention to detail really shone through in every shot, and the final video is something we’ll cherish forever. By the end of the day, we felt like we had known Bryan forever. We are truly blessed to not only call him our videographer but also a friend. Bryan went above and beyond our expectations, and we couldn’t be happier. If you’re looking for a videographer who is responsive, talented, and genuinely invested in making your day special, Bryan is your guy. Thank you, Bryan, for making our wedding day even more unforgettable!

If you’re reading this review, you’re likely considering Steven and Wild Light Films as part of your big day. DO IT!! We were originally drawn to his unique style of work, music-video like approach, and storytelling ability in capturing the essence of people’s wedding days. Working with Steven was incredible and we can’t say enough about how much we loved his work. We booked him back in 2019 for our 2020 wedding, but of course with COVID we had to push it back a year. He was super flexible and accommodating, and we still figured out a plan to have video footage of an intimate ceremony in 2020, as well as the original plan for 2021. He did such an amazing job incorporating the two ceremonies together into one seamless video, which he turned around even quicker than we expected! Steven is a delight to work with—truly a genuinely kind person. His video editing craftsmanship and storytelling are compelling—rewatching our video + highlights felt like taking us right back to the memories and joy of our day. Do yourself and your future self a favor and get Steven to make your wedding video that you’ll cherish for years to come.
